I think that the bots already submitted should be considered for grandfathering if the rules change to prohibit them.
I also have a specific entry in mind, but lack the expertise to go from 'flowchart' to 'code'.
I think there would more people interested in playing if strategies could be submitted in pseudocode, so that would be great.
For entries that only eval(opponent(x)), for simple x, that seems reasonable. Strategies that rely on deeper analysis would need to look for specific things about the code that I, as a non-programmer, cannot describe accurately.
I would agree that they should compete even if they're not awarded prizes for winning. Because we should at least have a comparison with performance against old bots. More data is pretty much always better.
It should also be trivial to calculate the score both in this heat and against all previously submitted bots.
